I figured I should start a new thread so those who want some of these will know they are ready.

About a week ago I came across some Desert Ironwood Scales that were poorly cut but still very nice looking wood.
I spent the day yesterday seeing what I could salvage. After weeding out the flawed pieces and sanding the others all flat and even, this is what I was able to come up with.
Nice contrasting colors and a good metallic flash to the wood. Some of the sets show a slight color change when the light hits them from different angles.

These sets of Desert Ironwood Scales are now in the store.
Go to the Natural Hardwood Scales (http://www.burlsource.us/servlet/the-Natural-Wood-SCALES/Categories) section of the store, or just click on the photo.
